Chen Qingqing pretended to be hesitant and declined, saying, "I can buy the arsenic at the pharmacy. The other four poisons are said to be found in Wild Wolf Valley. It was Master Fan who sent people to Wild Wolf Valley to search for them. I'm afraid of being bitten by poisonous insects. One bite from those things would be fatal."
When Shi Taishou heard that he was going to Wolf Valley to find poisonous creatures, his legs trembled. If Fan Tong really sent him there, would he even be able to come back alive?

Fan Tongyi felt his scalp tingle at the thought of his belly button rotting. He decided to take the gamble, since no doctor within a hundred miles could relieve his itching!
